The Darkness / DARKNESS

Please see our Charter

The Darkness

The Darkness is a loose affiliation of like minded people who wish to spread the gospel of our lord and devourer Great Cthulhu while conducting deep space salvage missions in uncharted and undesirable areas.

We go where you don’t want to.

The Darkness seeks to keep your valuables safe and secure. Our fleet of ships is designed to extract your property from it’s location, wherever you may have lost it, and return it to safe hands. Your assets are our assets and you can rest assured that we will not rest until we have them in our holds. Is your cargo deep in uncharted space? Held hostage in UEE space? Located on some backwater colony under constant Vanduul threat? We can handle it. We will secure your cargo from any location, no matter how mundane or dangerous… but we specialize in dangerous…

The Darkness is part cult, part business venture. Ostensibly we are a deep space salvage team who specializes in hostile environment extractions. We are also spreading the gospel of our lord and devourer Great Cthulhu. To that end the command structure of our faith is as follows:

• Prophet – The Prophets are the highest level attainable in The Darkness. The prophets are those who The Great Old One (TGOO) has deemed worthy and capable of bringing The Darkness to the furthest reaches of space. They have final say in all matters. Their names are written into the Great Book and will be devoured first.
• Elder – Elders are second in The Darkness only to the Prophets. While TGOO may not have spoken to them directly, they have great potential and their names have been whispered into the void.
• Missionary – The Missionaries main focus is spreading gospel of TGOO. They are often found in both the first waves of an excursion into new territory and settled in well established UEE colonies. Bringing their brethren into The Darkness of space is their mission, gaping maws and gnashing teeth are their fate. These are the ones who will sacrifice for the greater good.
• Evangelist – While Missionaires focus on spreading the word of the Great Old One, Evangelists are responsible for the growth and well being of The Darkness. They seek acceptable candidates for inclusion in The Darkness and are greatly rewarded.

The Darkness is focused on recovering other peoples valuables and securing them from prying eyes. Your valuables are safe with us. We will recover valuables from any location that they need to be liberated from be it the cargo hold of a ship or from a factory deep in an outer colony. We do not shirk from danger but we do not invite death… yet. We are NOT in the business of griefing but we will not hesitate to take what you have if it is written in the our Cargo Manifest. Smugglers beware.

The Darkness is a paramilitary organization with a focus on the dangerous missions that nobody wants. Missions sanctioned by the Prophets should be acted upon by all members and all members are able to request sanctioned missions. Minor missions are beyond the scope of this charter and are at the discretion of the individual ships captain. There is currently no dues however one can be enacted with a unanimous vote by the Prophets. All voting matters should be discussed thoroughly with all members that wish to discuss the matter but the Prophets votes are final.

• Oneironaut of the Way – Highest rank. These have been touched by TGOO.
• Priest of the Darkness – These have the ears of the prophets.
• Herald of the Darkness – These typically lead the way in The Darkness.
• Esoteric Dreamer – Full member with all rights and privileges.
• Neophyte of the Tentacle – Have you proved yourself a loyal brother?
• Seeker of the Darkness – Initiates who have freshly joined.
